VIBXPERT Balancing 11.2010

Appendix

Emergency storage

If the balancing procedure is stopped prematurely (e.g. battery
discharged), the data are stored in a recovery file. When the device is
switched on again, the balancing procedure can be continued with
the aid of this recovery file.

Opening the recovery file

• Switch on the measuring device.

• In the start screen, click on the 'Balance' symbol.

• Open the tab in which the interrupted balancing procedure was

started  (e.g. '1 plane').
The recovery file is labeled with a warning symbol.

• Click on the recovery file to open the recovery dialog box. It shows

information on when the emergency storage took place and the
number of balancing steps (see below).

• Click on 'Restore' to open the file and continue the balancing

procedure, or to save the data properly.
Click on 'Discard' to clear the data in the recovery file and start a
new measurement.
Use 'Exit' to leave the recovery dialog box without deleting the
recovery file.

Continuing the balancing procedure

after emergency storage
